including any attached peripherals.
Cooling Shroud
The system board shroud covers the processor, heat sink, and memory
modules, and provides air flow to these components. Airflow is facilitated by
the cooling fan modules, which are positioned directly beneath the cooling
shroud. The power distribution board shroud covers the power distribution
board behind the power supply bay.

The memory modules and heat sink can get very hot during normal
operation. Ensure that the memory modules and heat sink have had sufficient time
to cool before you touch it.
